hi gang yahoo.com have selected this web site as one of their 'picks of the week' since stephen hawking's right up there on my hero list [along with a certain flash in lima] i wanted to let you all know about it i haven't even visited the site yet; what faith i have!! ----- It occurs to us that Stephen Hawking's Universe is the same as everyone else's. So why does his seem so much more fascinating? It's doubtless due to the fact that Mr. Hawking, a theoretical physicist, has devoted his life to "probing the space-time described by general relativity and the singularities where it breaks down." For more on this (anti) matter, visit the PBS site dedicated to the brilliant man and his work. You can read about the long unsolved mysteries (such as "Is Time Travel Possible?"), learn about history's cosmological superstars (Ptolemy, Copernicus, and Einstein, among others), and have all of the truly strange stuff explained. Do black holes really exist? We like to think so. Is there such a thing as imaginary time? Our managers suspect so. Does this lend a certain gravity to our situation? Yes, indeedy. The site accompanies a TV series of the same name. Check out both; they're -- how shall we say it? -- cosmic. http://www.pbs.org/wnet/hawking/html/home.html ----- from your universal cyber-sis janet planet janet paterson - 50/9 - sinemet/selegiline/prozac - [log in to unmask]
